Powerlifting

In the sport of powerlifting the athlete’s strength is measured in three lifts: squat, bench press and deadlift. The lifts are done according to the rules monitored by referees. There are numerous different powerlifting federations, all with their own rules and allowed equipment levels.

But many people train in the powerlifting style without stepping on to the platform and taking influences from powerlifting methods is useful to any strength athlete.

Strengthshop offers various tools and accessories for powerlifters and people who train with the methods used by powerlifters. For the lifter we offer a good selection of wrist wraps and knee wraps, ranging from short and supple to long and stiff.
Elbow sleeves and knee sleeves are useful in training when joints need protection and warmth.

We also stock belts which have been made to the specification of the powerlifting federations rules in terms of thickness, width and shape. We have both lever belts and double prong belts.

Bands and chains are popular among powerlifters. Our bands come in a range of strengths, and the set deals on them are very popular.

Built for champions, perfect for everyone.
Nylon dipping belt from Strengthshop - an essential bit of kit for your gym bag.
With webbing loop instead of chain this belt is lighter and easier to transport in your gym bag. This is a heavy duty dipping belt able to handle the heaviest of weights!
With 8 mm D ring, heavy duty caliber and strong webbing material this belt has been built for the strongest of lifters.
You can load, kettlebells, dumbbells and plates onto this belt and it will not cause any damage as there is no metal chain. It makes it more comfortable to use too.
The unique and revolutionary loop attachment system with two rings makes it possible to create a solid center of gravity while having a tight fit. With normal dipping belts you are forced to push your glutes out creating a bend in the lower back. With this design the belt will be tightened with the weight and you can maintain a neutral spine position throughout the lift without a risk of the belt dropping off.
These high quality belts are tough and built to last, featuring a wide, firm back panel for added comfort and strong black nylon.
Weighted dips are an absolutely brilliant upper body exercise, forcing mass and strength gains across the whole chest-shoulder-arm region.
By uniquely targeting otherwise neglected muscle groups, this compound exercise simulataneously increases both maximum strength and range of motion. This makes weighted dips not only a valuable excercise in their own right, but excellent accessory training for both weightlifting and powerlifting exercises from snatches to bench press.
Material: Black nylon
Width of the webbing strap: 5cm
Thickness of the D rings: 8mm
Length of the loading strap: 102cm
Recommended max load: 120kg Learn More

Now comes standard with steel Riot Lever Buckle, which has a lifetime warranty.
This Lever Belt is perfect for powerlifting and weightlifting. It is 10 mm thick and 7,63 cm / 3" wide.
We have had a lot of requests for a belt with narrow width for various reason, some people prefer this over our standard wide belt, some people prefer it for deadlifting as it is less intrusive and still very supportive and sometimes the standard width belt can dig into your hips/ribs but this is greatly reduced with narrow width lever belt.
These belts are made to IPF spec, and are fantastic quality. They are made from artificial leather and give excellent support when lifting. Slightly more supple than standard leather belts, they mould to the contours of the back/body whilst providing unsurpassed support and protection to the back when training/lifting.
